Tracey, who was at the centre of a viral video showing her confronting the teenager, pleaded guilty to one count of simple assault during her court proceedings.
She was sentenced to one day in jail, but was not required to serve any additional time behind bars.
The incident took place on July 3 at Point Pleasant Beach, where Tracey reportedly approached a group of teenagers wearing patriotic clothing featuring references to Donald Trump and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to police, Tracey began filming the teenagers with her phone while confronting them about their clothing.
She then allegedly struck one of the girls around the shoulder before slapping her across the face.
The teenager was reportedly not injured in the incident.
Police later identified Tracey after reviewing surveillance footage from the area. She eventually turned herself in after authorities issued a warrant for her arrest.
Tracey was initially facing several charges, including endangering the welfare of a child, assault, harassment and obstruction.
However, most of the charges were dropped as part of a plea agreement that saw her admit to a single misdemeanor simple assault charge.
Prosecutors said the teenager’s family supported the agreement.
Separate from the criminal case, Tracey has also faced an immigration matter.
A government investigation reportedly determined that she had remained in the United States unlawfully, resulting in an order requiring her to leave the country.
